kingdom vision 2030

As a people we desire to fully experience, live out, and be transformed by the love of

God, the way of Jesus, and the abundant life of the Spirit. We, the South Baton Rouge

Church of Christ, choose to live more deeply into the following areas:

Following the Way of Jesus with Undaunted Courage

We desire to be wholly devoted to God and increasingly more like Jesus. We

wholeheartedly choose to live boldly as disciples under the guidance of His kingdom

teachings rooted in the Sermon on the Mount and in the Greatest Commandment to

love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbors as we

love ourselves. We recognize that following this way of Jesus will not always be easy,

that we may well face opposition and hardship, but we are determined to shine like stars

in a darkened world.

Radically Pursuing Community

Our aim and hope is for everyone to experience authentic community and deeper

spiritual relationships. We desire to completely embody the unity of the Spirit and

reconciliation that the gospel makes possible by being a community of love, mercy,

repentance, forgiveness, and grace characterized by greater inclusion and diversity with

uncompromising determination.

Boldly Embracing God’s Mission

God is on a mission to rescue, redeem, and restore all things through Christ and we

boldly join God in His mission. We want to have hearts that break for what breaks

God’s heart and to pursue the acts of justice and love of mercy that God desires. We

commit to join together the varied gifts, talents, and resources that God has given us

individually to build up and prepare the body of Christ for these works of service and

outreach to which we are called. We earnestly embrace the Great Commission, doing

whatever it takes, to share and embody the gospel for all the world.
